There is evidence that there was an interval of about 7012946728000000000â 300 ka from the impact to the mass extinction.
View full size image. The Cretaceous Period was the last and longest segment of the Mesozoic Era. It lasted approximately 79 million years, from the minor extinction event that closed the Jurassic Period about 145.5 million years ago to the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) extinction event dated at 65.5 million years ago. In the early Cretaceous, the continents were in very different positions than they are today.
